My small material report from the Creative-world fair in Frankfurt
Two weeks ago I visited the Creative-world fair. I had a lot of time to look around and find some new products that I didn't know before. I though I should share that information with you.
While talking to some color pencils manufactures, the conversation turned to pencil sharpeners. I have to confess I never gave much though about sharpeners before. I got a lecture about quality and how important they are, and that sometimes when the mine break is not because of the pencil quality but because of a bad sharpener. They mention that the best sharpeners are made by a German company called Kum, I never heard that name before so I have to take a look at their booth. I got one from them to try. It is good, but is it the best? I don't know the name of any other company that does pencil sharpeners. I will trust the opinion of the pencil manufactures in this case. The pencil sharpener cage has holes for two different pencils sizes and even come with two extra blades inside.

I discovered other interesting products from them but I will tell you about in another post.

PS: There is a little secret about the sketchbook this drawing was made, but I will also tell you about it later,
